You cannot count actively participating in a sport towards the Skills section of your DofE Award. However, you can use a sport-related activity if you are learning a new skill, such as becoming a coach, umpire or referee.
For example, learning how to coach a sports team or becoming qualified as a referee could count towards your Skills section.
If you are struggling to find an activity for your Skills section (or any other section), there is a helpful list of activity ideas on the DofE website:
